Welcome to Gaia! ::

rant here. let it out.

I also want easier access to obtaining PGSM (price is agreeable in Amazon for full series), but come ON! If Death Note Got two movies out and were done by Japanese actors, and availabe in Barns and Nobles, WHY, just why, can't we have the same thing done for PGSM, WHYYYYYY I as?!?!?! It's just not fair! crying

as quoted from this thread:http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/anime-manga-comics/happy-20th-anniversary-sailor-moon-the-anime-long-live-sm/t.70433285/

My own words:

Sailor moon is not materialistic. i read on one website where someone( can't recall who) but that someone stated that all the gems and jewels makes one greedy and want only jewellery and the make up part makes all females vain.Well, I am sorry to say... I disagree... very, very much so.

Why?

Sailor Moon's crystal looks like jewellery, but it is not. It is the source of her power. It is powered by her heart. If it gets taken, Sailor moon's life is in danger. The world is in danger. Her friends are in danger. Her daughter and boyfriend are in danger. Her family and everyone else is in peril. The universe and other sailor senshi( whom she has no close friendships or relations to) are in trouble. What does she do?Sure, I admit it. I know this: the first time she uses her powers, she is not confident. she is not perfect. In fact, she cries.

But as time goes on , she matures. she becomes a leader. She becomes a mediator.( (Do you all recall a moment in the manga( Deathbusters arc), the Inners and Outers fight each other?) she tells them all to recall their frienship, love( platonic , not romantic.( don't think naughty thoughts!)) and succeeds in stopping the conflict.While it is obvious she is not everyone's favourite character, you must accept that some people do like her.

In any case, the above paragraphs... those words ; that is my view.

In any case... Sailor Moon also saves her boyfriend and vice versa. She is not a damsel in distress. Also, unlike many fairy tales, she is a princess who can fight. she is a person who is stubborn( in a good way) and strong.She is not in it just for the romance. she is also in it for her family and friends.Also, just because they wear short skirts does not mean they are not feminist.
Also: Their team presents many great role models and shows that women can be anything.


Sailor moon is not closed-minded, she is open-minded. Look at Chibiusa, Hotaru and Ami and the others!Chibiusa was mocked because of an inability to grow up( and i mean not just maturity, but biologically. but you know what? that happens in real life as well, ignoring the time travel bit...)Hotaru had a strange healing power and was mocked for it.( but in actual fact, there was nothing wrong with her. she is a nice person) Ami is smart and people thought she was proud and cheated on tests..( but the truth was that she was too shy)

Normally, people would have ostracized them. But Sailor Moon did not. she was special and friendly. she showed me that it was possible for any person to be befriended. She showed me that it was possible to be friendly to everyone. She helped me to be more sociable. Did you all know that without her, I might have been ostracised due to some geekiness and oddness? No right? but anyway, she taught me those things. It makes my heart fill with delight to say this: sailor moon is not weak. if anything, she is strong. Oh and if anyone says all the sailor senshi are weak, you are wrong, absolutely wrong.

To get my point across, this is not by me, but it holds 90 percent of my viewpoint toward sailor moon: Link


And...
if someone said being girly makes one weak, then, that someone lied.(Go to google and look up all these characters: sailor uranus , sailor mars, sailor venus and sailor jupiter for why I said/ typed that)Oh yeah, i have a feeling some of this is not really related to feminism, but anyway, this is my personal view on sailor moon. ( well. eek i am shocked at myself. I think that... I wrote too much. Ehehehe. sweatdrop )

Here here! I say to love is not a weakness, it is a strength. In the other hand, hatred is the true weakness, people with evil hearts and dark thoughts, those are the ones that are really weak, why? Because they gave up, being too nice was hard for them, so they went the easy route. That's why Sailor Scouts are tough, they don't give up, they spread the love and peace to everyone, and that goes especially for Usagi! She didn't have to forgive any of the "Bosses" that hurt her, her friends, the world, but she still wanted to save every one, because she cares so much (which is a good thing, and takes a toll on you and takes a lot to do where as destroying is so simple, since anyone can do that).

As for being a crybaby at first (she was the only one there, the plot was just about to thicken), so she was a scapegoat for comedy relief (I wold like to see any 14-year-old that has no training in self defense NOT freak out in a situation like trying to save your friend, and a gang of people are jumping you). However, after all she went through, of course there is slow progression into being a more mature person, it's the natural way to go. Again, she did not take the bad to heart, she transcended that (that's what makes Sailor Moon a REAL heroine. She has compassion for those that do bad and even tries to save them. Like a BOSS! xd

I want Toei to stop being a bunch of flipping butt holes and give us back the anime and all the merch!

Also Bandai! Bandai has some of the games and the license for Live Action, the avarice filled people they are evil

Muahahaaaaaa!!!!!! I have finally put in public my true feelings toward SM, and I have you to thank! Now, maybe we will see some results if this survey is more popularized (I'm sure there are more people like me that didn't know about this).

Yeah well I tried telling everyone on my thread to take it too. However a lot of them aren't currently living in USA or Canada.
